Assembly
After unpacking your ShowerSpa, some assembly is required prior to installation.

secure shower arm to ShowerSpa.
2. Attach hose fitting to shower arm (3) ensuring rubber washer is still in hose fitting. Do not over-tighten.
Hand Shower Holder Assembly

2. Secure nut (9) with adjustable wrench if needed.
After ShowerSpa is mounted to the wall
Hand Shower Assembly

tighten.
2. Insert washer (5) into tapered end of hand shower hose (6) and attach to hand shower (7). Insert hand shower into holder (8).
Installation – New Construction
Extensive Remodel – New Finished Wall Surface
1. Prior to sheetrock, stub-out ½" hot and cold supply lines beyond
finished wall surface, 4" on center. For best results, attach 90°
brass fittings (available at most hardware stores) to the stub-outs
maintaining ¼" – ½" of space between the fitting and finished
wall. The open end of the 90° brass fittings should point down so
the ShowerSpa's supply lines attach parallel to wall.

2. For a person 5'8" – 6'2" we recommend stub-outs be 38" above
finished floor. 2
3. Before installation, make certain water is COMPLETELY TURNED
OFF to both hot & cold supply lines of shower.
4a. Mark location of holes for top mount, making sure holes are
level. For a person 5'8" – 6'2", we recommend placing holes of
upper mount at approx. 70¼" above finished floor.
2
4b. To determine location for lower mount measure distance
between indents on bottom edge of horizontal mounting bars
on back of ShowerSpa (approx. 34
5 ⁄
8
"). Using this distance,
measure down from holes in upper mount to obtain location of
holes in lower mount making certain mounts are plumb.
4c. Use mounts to mark location of holes for each mount.
5. Before drilling holes, make certain that connecting to stub-outs
DOES NOT INTERFERE with backside of ShowerSpa and it is flush
with finished wall at desired mounting height.

6. Drill ¼" holes through wall surface using a masonry bit. Drill
slowly through wall surface to avoid cracking and chipping. Insert
anchors and securely screw brackets to wall. Before connecting
hot and cold supply lines, hang ShowerSpa on wall, check height
and make sure ShowerSpa is flush against wall with a secure fit.
7. Connect hot and cold water supply lines to stub-outs—DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. Before mounting ShowerSpa, check fittings to
make sure they are secure. Turn on water and check for leaks.
When fittings are leak-free, mount ShowerSpa on wall.
8. OPTIONAL—Seal around body of ShowerSpa with a bead of
silicone. DO NOT SEAL BOTTOM.
